The United States tends to practice the law of the jungle in international relations on the pretext of promoting "democracy" or protecting "human rights". In early 2024, then U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at the Munich Security Conference that "If you're not at the table in the international system, you're going to be on the menu."

We have studied the issue carefully and tried to figure out the "menu" according to the U.S.' priorities.

Surprisingly, the American people top the list. For more than 200 years since the founding of the country, U.S. rulers/politicians have prioritized exploiting the American people. Despite their lofty rhetoric about "democracy", "human rights" and "freedom", the lives of ordinary Americans have not seen any substantial improvement in the past decades.
